Freedom has been flawless for me in my S2 Xtreme, and it is seriously set up for Federal primers. CCI will ignite 95% of the time since I polished the firing pin channel. I reload all my match ammo, but I will buy Freedom ammo occasionally.

I am new to Tanfos. Would love to know what are the parts easily broken, trigger bar? trigger return spring? Will need to have some spare in the range bag.
Thanks.
Keep a couple trigger return springs handy. That's all I've broken.
-
If you reload, shoot .40 Major, if you shoot bought ammo, shoot 9mm Minor and be accurate. My wife shoots 9mm Minor and crushes it with Alphas. I shoot with .40 and get some C's. Up to you.

The SSI are very grippy under pressure, but easy to adjust hands when you let off pressure a little. The only downside is that they are kinda thick. If they did a slimline version they would have my business.
-
I encourage you to email VZ about making Stock 2 grips (I have). They haven't so far, and seem to not value the small market that is the Tanfoglio crowd.

Matches are available pretty much every weekend from April to October (with a few before and after that). Ontelaunee, Topton, New Holland, Lower Providence, and several more. Your action shooting needs can be met in this area. +1 on going to Kings, great stuff.

Hopefully the hasbro front sight will disappear ... I know it is a personal preference thing ... but ... (and the roll stamps don't get overdone ... more ...) ...
That looks like a Kensight product.http://stores.kensight.com/standard-fronts-fiber-optic-blade-flat-base/
It's not a cheap sight, and it really works well for anyone shooting action pistol sports.

Come to the match at Lower Providence Rod and Gun Club, Saturday March 5th, for the USPSA match. I'm in Wilmington too, and we shoot most of the local USPSA matches. You are looking at 45-min to 1.5-hour rides to some of the best matches Area 8 has to offer. Follow USPSA Area 8 on Facebook.
Indeed. I'll be there.
Actually, I'll be there in a couple of hours, someone suckered me into helping set up. Ha.
I'll be there early tomorrow to help, try not to leave too much for me! Frozen ground hates stakes! Thanks for helping out!!!

Shell plate clear, otherwise fully loaded. Like motosapiens I knock out 50-rds when I can, and spin up time would cut that in half. No cats, kids, or open flames in my house, so risk is minimal.

I run a 124grn round nose coated bullet, with 3.8grn TiteGroup, at 1.11 OAL. It makes 1095-1100-fps with no feeding issues in my 1911 or Tanfo Stock 2.

Tore apart the top end today - was going to replace the firing pin with an EG Extreme. Upon looking at the things - they appear to be the same. Pulled out the measury tool... and they measure the same. Only difference seems to be the EG is all shiny and the stock unit is blued.
Wolff 13 hammer, a bit more polish, and 3 out of 150 S&B primers failed to go 'bang.' They were early in the session - the last 100 rounds went with no complaints.
I chucked up a cleaning rod with a swab in a drill, coated the swab with polishing compound and went after the hole the firing pin lives in. (smoothed it first with 600 grit then 800). That really helped mine as that channel was nasty with machining marks. But you must remove the exctractor first as it's in the way.
Also the firing pin block and hole were polished to ensure it moves out of the way.
Also the hammer spring hole, and strut. Anything that could slow the movement go polished. Makes the ignition more robust with light springs.
What size swab? Will a 9mm swab fit, or...?

They should really shut down their web page then.

Actually AJ suggested it to me. I was just curious about other attempts before I tried it. I need to ask him for a picture or ask if he will do it for me! Thanks for the info!I've heard that you can use a Dawson XD adjustable rear sight on the P320 FS. It extends past the rear of the slide a bit, but isn't unsupported. Anyone have this on theirs, or can vouch for this fit?
I have seen a few people do that. I think A.J. Stuart was one of them. You could find him on Facebook and ask about the experience. Basically most anything that fits the P226 dovetail should work, but many types will overhang on the P320.
Bruce said he plans to offer milling for the P220 site above as a milling service. The new Target had a fully adjustable LPA on it that looked pretty good.

The club I frequent is moving to a Saturday and Sunday club match format due to high number of shooters at our Sunday matches. If you add PCC, and someone wants to shoot that and their pistol, limit it to one gun per day. At Majors, have them shoot PCC or their pistol on the Staff day (which anyone can request to shoot that day), and the other gun on the normal match day(s). I understand that not all clubs would be able to make use of a double match format, but it's not a bad option.
On another note: I think that the rules and stage descriptions would need to specify using props as support for the PCC. This could raise some safety concerns, and impact the durability of some props.
-
Yes, but those were not usually being used in the configuration outlined in the rules. Most were chopped, stippled, and laser/light added. Not quite what we are seeing for CO.S&W, Glock, and FNH all made guns that had an option for a slide mounted optic BEFORE the division was accepted by the BOD..
-
While I don't care about the Division personally, I find it odd that it doesn't seem to have been created so that people with this type of gun (Rev, SS, Open, etc...) now have a place to play. The guns are being created that conform to rules in a Division. Would these guns, as described in the rules, have been built otherwise? Not that this doesn't happen in other equipment based sports like racing, it's just a departure from business as usual for USPSA. If CO allowed the plastic-fantastic face-shooter specials that most slide ride optic guns out there are... Then I wouldn't question the evolution of a new Division. JMHO

I think the current model would be perfected by selling a competition model that would have pre installed a GGI drop in trigger kit with fiber optic front and competition rear sight. That's it.
Swap out the oversprung captured spring & guide rod with one of the solid ones using 1911 springs. It works nice for riding the knife edge of PF.

This is my wife's STI 9mm with some before (bottom blocks) and after (top blocks). Flat Black. Done by my friends at http://www.spectrearmament.com/category-s/114.htm

I use a ALS for 3Gun (Sig P320), and it is awesome. I never feel like the gun is going to ruin my day by jumping out.

Stock 2 Firing Pin? Light Strike Issues
in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)

I used 800-grit metal polish with a bore mop on a cleaning rod in my drill.
